Abstract

A magnetoresistance effect element having a substrate, a buffer layer of a metal selected from the group consisting of chromium, tungsten, titanium, vanadium, manganese and their alloys which is formed on the substrate, and at least two magnetic thin layers which are laminated with interposing a non-magnetic thin layer therebetween on the metal thin layer, wherein adjacent magnetic thin layers through the non-magnetic thin layer have different coercive forces. This magnetoresistance effect element has an increased magnetoresistance ratio.
